According to news reports, the vehicle was set up to operate on two types of fuel – petrol and gas.
The accident which was caused by a gas leak, injured three people including the taxi driver a passenger and a bystander.
All of those affected were hospitalised without serious injuries.

Technically, the propane gas tank did not explode, but rather the gas that had leaked and accumulated in a closed space.  I wonder what set it off?

 

If this action was in a movie or on TV, then the fireball would have been 30 meters around and the driver would have been a burnt to a crisp in the front seat and still grasping the steering wheel.
